On level ground high bred horses and
dogs in full training can be tolerably sure
Of running down kangaroo. but If the
animal can make its way To broken and
rocky ground, especially where the trunks
Of fallen trees beset the track, it can
mostly make good its escape. When
brought TO bay it is as formidable an an
tagonist as the stag it.elf. 1t has no
horns, but it has hind feet. and at the tip
of the fourth toe there is a claw Of great
length, shaped like bayonet, and scarce
ly less formidable. A single kick from
this weapon will rip up dog as il the
animal had been struck with q sharp
sword, and even an armed man does not
Ike to approach it in front
Generally, when at bay the kangaroo
stands upright, resting its back against a
tree, so that the dogs cannot attack it
from behind. The hunter, however, takes
advantage of this habit He trains his
dogs TO make false attacks on the animal
in front, without coming within range of
the terrible claw, and while its attention
is engaged in front he slips behind the
tree and strikes his long hunting knife
into the body Of the kangaroo. Not many
years ago the kangaroo swarmed like the
bison in America. But now great cities
have sprung into existence where, scarcely
fifty years ago not even hut was to be
seen, and the black men and the kangaroo
were masters of the land. The time is not
very far distant when sheep and cattle
will have taken the place of the kangaroo,
and Australia will only know her most
characteristic animal by reputation. The
kangaroo and the bison will alike fall vic.

The ArchbishOp's Manuscript.

The late archbishop Of Canterbury.
when preaching at st. Paul's, had the
notes of his sermon containing some in
pOrtaut statistics on half u sheet of note
paper before him on the pulpit cushion
During the hymn sudden gust Of wind
whirled the little paper among the audi
ence and waited it into the face of citi-
zen at some distance from the pulpit.
The archbishop expected it To be brought
back. The man looked over the scribbled
paper and a sudden look Of bright intelli-
gence stole into his face; he closed his
book, folded up the paper, placed it in his
breast pocket and hurriedly left the
church, congratulatinS himself upon hav-
ing secured so undoubted an autograph
under such exceptionally interesting and
unique circumstances. The Keen sense Of
humor SO characteristic Of Dr. TAFT came
to his relief, and it is strong testimony
TO the imperturbable serenity Of the man
that he was able to preach his sermon as

Lynchings IN the United States.

The number of reported murders in the
United States in 1889 was 1,266 There
We're only % persons executed and rs
lynched-in all, 211. Consequently very
nearly l,055 criminals escaped. We say
very nearly because some criminals may
have had more than one victim each. il
any Of those who were executed and
lynched were innocent, then perhaps more
than l,05J criminals escaped. Under any
government where LIB murderers out Of
every 200 escape legal execution, il is a
wonder that there are not 1000 lynched.
instead Of lis. \ man planning n cold
blooded murder may safely calculate upon
more than eleven chances TO escaps to
less than one for his detection, conviction
and execution; and taking in the conjont
probabilities of legal and extra legal capi-
tai punishment. he may safely calculate
on five chances to one TO escape-Charles
